how to build distributions?

yes. Under the hood they manage to craft experience with as little of programming knowledge.

Look into Yandere Simulator, Undertale. There are videos explaining the horrible code practices but those are stellar experience

would you mind sharing how you reduce it. I am testing hacks like asking to draw in block diagrams, write like RFC, write like algo and pseudocode

Yeah this over engineering is really annoying bit

But how are you scoping the features these days? Unlike back in the day, these days a feature is equivalent of research paper

I agree with this. We can think of anything and nothing can prevent that at all. I have to go therapy to be told, it's okay to not think 24/7.

One thing that is working for me is simply getting a handheld and playing good old video games like in old days.

It is something I look forward to everyday because I can be anywhere and play anytime.

It is simply best hack I came up with.

Any games with "online" element is slop and avoid that toxicity.

say that to visa laws that were designed by your ancestors that carry around the world. Say the same to currency arbitrage, freedom of mobility and everything that you enjoy for granted in protected walls.

The reason remote worker can out compete you is because of this currency arbitrage you designed. Your pennies goes a long way in this so called third world. Your one day dinner at nice place is a months salary for family of 4.

Seriously, if you can’t compete globally, then you don’t deserve your privilege of being born in rich world.

Stop labelling other humans as serf when your entire wealth was built on shaky foundations.

You == not you the person, but the government and laws.

awwww…… so cute……

who would have guessed when first world were enjoying their heyday as they were colonizing the world, and teaching everyone and their mother to learn English.

Kinda sad now you have to compete with serfs from thirls world. chu chu chu. so cute.

shouldn’t have robbed others then. a richer world for you comes at poorer world for someone. we are playing infinite game in finite world.

Oh my god!! You nailed it. I see two categories in tech. One the builder, innovators, tinkerers, those who just wanted to use tech to draw their ideas to life.

Then other is artisan, those who took pride in organizing and craft.

Second one is having miserable time. The former like me are having a blast. I love tech for that reason.

I stopped talking to people who think LLMs are waste. It's because they don't even touch it. They think it's a taboo to touch it.

So anything in tech is exciting because it enables us to do so many random things. Wish more people learnt about it.

Yes! I tested why I wasn't receiving any emails. Then I updated the link. Sorry for the inconveniences!

You are really literally like me because you did the things I did. I have also dabble with them. I have also experimented with it. Only thing is I never made anything valuable. I guess I only did it for sake of learning and being happy.

Conversation with Exuma has made me realize he only learns when he absolutely needs to, while I learn when I feel like learning.

Then I can't also put focus. Because of inefficiencies in other aspect of life. I can't optimize because I am just paranoid on most things. I would love to work for myself but I do not come from a background (because of work, energy and time) where I can sustain it. Maybe I should think of ways to do it and try to find ways.

However, do you think putting 2 hrs a week on a single project for extended time will take me to places?

Wow!! This is literally soooo insane you managed to write so much answer in a way that is so close and dear to you. I would really love to have a long discussion with you but I don't know if it is possible given your time. Is there an specific aliased contact address that is possible to connect to you?

I don't have most answers but it seems like there are certain qualities in you that is so helpful for the way you are as a person.

Currently, I also don't like to learn for the sake of learning. I used to be love learning and knowing things for the sake of it. But that doesn't payoff in real life. What good use is knowledge when I learned only for sake of learning.

Now I want to change and it only comes from doing things and actually implementing stuff. All I could do was think and that too was flawed thinking. These days I am doing more but still I think a lot.

I want to also disregard the opinions but I feel like what value would I provide. This was one reason I stopped blogging because there are already experts in the field who are more authentic. What would my perspective bring when I will be just paraphrasing already known stuff in slightly different way.

I can understand how you are the way you are. So we have fundamentally different mode of thinking. But you have given me some ideas.

There are things I can't say in public comment and only in private conversation. It would be fun to talk with you.
